Moments in Bridgetown, Barbados

[rockcityaudio]

Looking at these tropical country's threw the eyes of a tourist or through "rose tinted"glasses just obscures what life is really like for the folks that have to live there,some are living in real poverty.

A lot of people from Barbados, Jamaica etc whom now live in the UK naturally have great memories of home but sadly when they try to retire there all they find is people trying to get money off them.Also many come back due to increasing huge medical bills,which can ruin the wealthiest person.

[crokkettalazioultras]

speramo de acchiappà le turiste olandesi o americane. Buon Anno 2011 dalle Barbados, se ce la faccio a ritornà vivo.

[sazzyjt]

qué lindoooooo!!

[musicTattoo04]

one day I want to go there :-)

[Adriangrosvenor]

@TheWackyBird huh? oh yes America is weird you guys love to argue over small issues, You would be cool no one here cares about race

[Katey4077]

I love Barbados, such an amazing place. I spent 10days there and made some local friends and had a blast. As far as racism goes, the white american tourists who think they can order everyone around like servants are more the racist ones (i can say that do to the fact i am a white american). Everything is in "island time" haha 1 american minute is equal to like 30 barbados minutes, so don't expect anything to get done too hastily. Its so beautiful there, a piece of my heart is there.

[kvocalist]

BIM is just gorgeous!! no where like it.

[HappiiSmiles316]

5 people can't afford to go. Anyways i went there and was so curious about everything. I wish i was from barbados. :P

[blackfeatherarchery]

@TheWackyBird .."Wow people have time for that negative stuff." Damn i'm glad i don't see color's i see people.

[mrsblue82]

thanks for the vid in the center theres enough of the beach. thanks again for everyday living in the center.

[omari246]

awwww swan street. what day of the week was this?

[firebaby7]

ah yes, straight down swan street, then broad street, then cross the bridge... man i miss home

[funtown101]

i am DYING to go back to my home land BIM.

[jojojorge94]

wuju paradise!!!

[sunsetrum]

@TheWackyBird i am white and i am from Barbados you will absolutely be welcomed in Barbados as a white person. Racism is hard to avoid anywhere you go and it certainly exists in Barbados however that doesn't stop the thousands of white tourists who visit every year. people are generally friendly. As a tourist you shouldnt have any problems especially seeing as our economy depends so much on tourism people are very friendly to tourists. racism usually goes both ways anywhere you go

[lolaboox3]

@TheWackyBird Oh hush up, that's so stereotypical, you are not hated by blacks in America...Yes you are welcome in Barbados because we're used to the tourists and such. You'll be fine.

[melitimo]

i want to go

[LaurelVentura]

Man it looks really hot there, just by the first minute of the video! I fear my pasty white English skin would burn up!!

[MsTreysongz1]

omg this looks like downtown kingston in jamaica

[MrMs8ismail]

woooow!

[TdotSoul]

[anosabi]

[hannah120288]

[ryanaus04]

[SummerKissCrush]

The Best country Ever !! ILove Barbados ! What ever colour , religion you are you STILL have to go there !

[pmcpk]

Continued ... a beautiful country with lovely people. That's all that matters.

[pmcpk]

I'm Canadian and return to Barbados every year with my family, it is our second home. We love shopping on Swan Street and we love the Barbadian people. They are people just like everywhere else in the world, only much nicer. I don't understand some of the stupid comments on here about the Barbadian people being/feeling free or being black or white. The days of slavery are long gone in civilized countries. The black or white question would only be an issue if you were a racist. Barbados is

[caribbguy]

Oh Man Thanks ,for showing dis wish I was back home now.

Ya mek ma home sick ya love this.Great job .

[Coachaubry]

nice

[Yashieyama]

Don't take this the wrong way and please no offense, but i work with a friend that was born and raised in Barbado. I don't know exactly any places of Babado, but what he mention he is from was a bunch of people that loves to fight alot.

[S500FYA]

Im from Panama but my family came from Barbados to finish building the canal Of Panama, an Im considering moving to Barbados, or passing some time there in the rugular basis, and I just want to know what type of place Its.

[beautifulgooal]

copy and paste this title "Cape Town & Tafelberg - Urlaubsvideo 2009"

[craig3008]

Thanks for this video. I'm an Amateur Radio operator here in Australia & just minutes ago spoke for about 30 mins to an Amateur Operator located in Bridgetown, Barbados. So I was interested to see where I was talking to. Looks like a very exciting place. He was saying how the weather there has been a bit too hot lately! I'll have to add Bridgetown onto my list of "Places to try and get to"!

[mofire9999]

im going to barbado to give these hoes something nice in di- pattercake something they would remember me forever....lol

[remiem6070]

@mofire9999 Why are these people in your opinion "hoes"? Did we just watch the same video? Is it that you think a woman dresses for YOU all the time? WTH!!! Sicko. Keep your AIDS or whatever you plan to "put in their pattacakes" to your dirty self!!!!

[coolie777girl]

i come from Barbados from my family but i am proud to call it home.

[Drewman85]

@zombiezzzz7 I stayed at Crystal Cove back in December. Great country.

[Drewman85]

Well Canada sucks. But Barbados is beautiful.

[TdotSoul]

@Drewman85 not true! I'm a Bajan living in Canada, and Canada is wonderful!

[ConmanIncorperated]

Theres a Scotia Bank in Barbados? I didn't think the Bank of Nova Scotia went too far out of the country. Canada and Barbados - The 2 best countries in the world.

[TdotSoul]

@ConmanIncorperated they have Scotiabank and RBC there

[DigitalIslandboy]

@TdotSoul Scotiabank, RBC, (FirstCaribbean a.k.a CIBC), Barbados National Bank, RBTT, and tons of local credit unions.

[TdotSoul]

@DigitalIslandboy and Butterfield, I was just telling Conman about the Canadian Banks in Barbados

[zombiezzzz7]

hey i was their on wednesday!!! I have playlist of my whole vacation at turtle beach!!!!!!!!! I love Barbados!!!! Everyone is SO nice!!!

[CheeszeBallsz]

Proud to be bajan.

[panamanubian]

@CheeszeBallsz Wao the place looks really nice, are there a lot of rich black people in Barbados, and is black people in Barbados free or at least feel free, Im of Bajan descent from my mother side.

[beautifulgooal]

@panamanubian do the black people in this video look like they have chains tying them up? for real?

[panamanubian]

@beautifulgooal I dont know, I was trying to ask, are black people in Barbados free from colonial mentality? That was my question, but I guess I missed the last part, Did you really need to answer me that way? maybe you should have asked me, what I was talking about? or in which way was I referring to "free".

[beautifulgooal]

@panamanubian i apologize for my answer, i have not been there but at the same time i think they might have different mentality from african americans who are still living along side whites in large quantity.

[greaval]

only been there once. i'm half bajan and trini. all i want is to go back home.

[tooflychicks]

really u like it better there

[physicempathy]

SWAN STREET!!!!!!!!!!!! BIM!!!!!!!

[ikobarbados]

6 more weeks and ill b there....wid cruise ship ventura

[chiflamico]

How much's a good cheap room for rent in Barbados?

[TdotSoul]

@chiflamico you can rent a room in a house for $20 - $30US if you know what you are doing.I've seen self contained appartments in guest houses for $50US (bajan flamingo house) It was very nice, came with a 3 piece bathroom, a kitchenette with everything but an oven, two beds, cable tv, a porch, I think AC was an extra $5US/night. It was clean, and on a quiet street, but a 10 minute walk from a beautiful active beach, and a 15 minute walk from a main clubbing district.

[Chynacandy51]

I love Barbados!!!! I am half bajan. I love Barbados, it is a beautiful place!!! GO THERE!

[beautifulgooal]
